Pages : 406
Book Description
Living within the Galactic Federation of the Solar System isn't all it's cracked up to be. Laurel got sold into strict federation schooling where if she doesn't shape up, they'll scramble her mind until she's no longer herself so they can build the perfect citizen out of her. Juniper got fitted with invasive cybernetics to augment the human experience at the tender age of eight and if they act up, the feds can turn them off--effectively killing them. So, the pair decide to run away together. All they need is to get past Jupiter where the fed's hold isn't as tight. There, Laurel can figure out what she wants in life free from fed control and Juniper can figure out how to stop their cybernetics from ruining their life. Easy, right? Not when they find a busted federation ship on the way with a vampire on board who might need their help with a severed head the federation is after, or perhaps, he just wants their blood. One of the two.

Earth’s first contact with extra-terrestrials, requesting permission to land on Antarctica to repair one of their three ships, proves to be a potential extinction event for the human race. When a nuke, and missiles, prove to be futile against alien defensive screens, Earth’s last hope is put in the hands of a six-man Navy Seal team. Cody Hawke leads his team to the site, and they damage the annihilator weapon as it is fired, but the team and much of Earth’s population is wiped out. Twenty-five years later, another alien ship arrives with damage caused by an attack from Horde ships, from another galaxy. Setting down near the three Zirralonian war ships, they discover the damage done to the planet, whose existence is new to them. Reptilian scientists use regeneration transference to animate three earthlings whose bodies are frozen in the ice. Though the bodies are supposed to be temporary shells without awareness, used for scientific study, they prove to be much more. Is it possible for a technologically-challenged Earth to help advanced friendlies defeat the even greater tech of another galaxy?
